Wade Will Get Some Rest For His 30th Birthday

Dwyane Wade turns 30 this Tuesday, but so does his right ankle which was badly sprained in a loss to Denver Friday night.

No timetable is slated as of yet, but things won’t be rushed:

“He’s up walking around … but we’re not going to put a timetable on when he’ll come back,” Spoelstra said. “Thankfully, he’s not in a cast or a boot. So we’ll see how he responds each day, and we’ll go from there.”

Add this to the pile of things wrong with Wade. A bruised left foot, strained calf, and now the ankle, are all the things “old man” Wade is dealing with.

In all honesty, the best policy for the Heat right now would be to give Wade the time he needs to get fully healed and return to action at his own pace. Israel Gutierrez agrees. This team is playoff bound on talent alone and although seeding is always important, in such a short season just getting in is crucial. Right now the Heat are in a dead heat with the Hawks and the Magic, but realistically which of those teams are better than the Heat?
